"Are you up so early? Don't you sleep for a while? Usually, don't you get up until 8 or even 9 o'clock on weekends?" Galen, who was busy in the kitchen, looked at Sean who came in from the door in surprise, and then looked at the time on the table. The numbers clearly meant that it was only 7 o'clock.

"I have to sleep too..." Sean yawned and picked up Poke who was gnawing beside his shoes, with a obviously sleepy look.

"So, are you really worried?" Garen laughed.

"Well, I do have some concerns. This is my first time as a producer, after all," Sean sighed. "Although I haven't done much of the producer's duties, it's my work, isn't it?"

"When "The Genius Ripley" was released, didn't you still sleep soundly?" Garen teased immediately, "and don't you say that your intuition tells you that this movie will be very popular?"

"Intuition does not mean 100% correct," Shawn shrugged, "and that was different from now. No matter what the result was, it would not make me worse. Now, you also know that my career has become a small achievement, and any losses should be avoided, which inevitably makes people worry about gains and losses. Just like Poker, now let it go back to the small apartment in the past and eat those poor dog food, it will definitely not do it--right? You little fat dog, look at you, you are almost as fat as Lucy."

He said, scratching the chin of the puppy in his arms, and Poke immediately barked twice, as if he was cooperating with his master.

"It's just that? Or I feel tired of those annoying buzzing flies, worried that I can't shut them up?" Sanders' voice came from behind.

"Okay, all - you got up too?" Sean turned his head in surprise.

"You've gotten up, why can't I get up?" Sanders spread his hands.

"Instead of worrying about this, you might as well go outside to see if the newspaper has been delivered," Garen interrupted.

"I won't go. I've been tired of watching it these two days. Although I think "My Grand Greek Wedding" is very sincere and distinctive, and it is a good movie, it cannot represent everyone's opinion." Sean complained.

"Didn't Miramax say that? According to the feedback from theaters, the number of events is pretty good and there are a lot of viewers." Sanders said.

"Yeah, but what I want to know is, what exactly is the box office this weekend," Sean sighed, "Damn, why does it take three days to count the box office on the weekend?"

"Because the definition of weekend box office is Friday to Sunday." Garen, who continued to be busy with breakfast, said with his eyes rolling, and then muttered in a low voice: "It's your request that you will notify yourself after the weekend box office comes out."

"I'll go out to get the newspaper." Sanders patted his butt and ran away.

Sean grinned, trying to say something, but the ringtone of the cell phone rang at this time. He picked it up and looked at it, then put Poke on the ground, walked to the garden outside and connected.

"Hey, Sean, how about it? Is there any news?" Katie's happy voice came from there soon.

"Not yet, it won't be so early, but it will take about two or three hours to get the news." Listening to the words of encouragement, Sean couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, you can do it." Katie said confidently.

If there is any benefit to being besieged by the tabloid, it is that it causes several women to stand on his side almost one-sidedly, whether it is Jordanna who is showing off in front of him, hugging Michelle, or Naomi who is full of worries, they either call or encourage him in person, let alone Katie, who knows nothing at the moment.

And even Camilla's little girl cheered him on the phone: "I will go to the cinema to support you, Sean, that must be a great movie!"

As for Kate, who is not in contact with much at the moment, although he has not spoken on the phone or met, Sean has received an email signed by CB, which has not much content, just one sentence: Don't care about those.

Even Jennifer said in a tender time that he would go back to watch the romantic comedy he made.

"Those tabloids like something sensational, and the more they say that the more they say that your movie is interesting." Jennifer said in the bed, biting his ear.

As a result of the harassment of tabloids, especially during the time when he broke up with Pitt and was pushed to the responsibility, the tabloids were unexpectedly rampant and almost climbed over the wall to her home, so Jennifer knew this feeling very well. So Sean took this opportunity to coax her and let her wear the OL uniform that she had left the country in "Friends" before, and let her crawl on the table and enter from behind.

Well, this is a little comfort in misfortune. Not to mention this for the time being, when Sanders took back the newspaper, Sean started to eat breakfast while reading. As before, the comments about "My Grand Greek Wedding" were very good.

"A very interesting and sincere love comedy. Tula, who was born in a Greek family, is over thirty and has not been married yet. Everyone in the family is worried about her life. Tula, who is unbearable to pressure, wants to change this life, and then meets Ian, a high school teacher, and falls in love. So the problem arises. Tula's family wants her to be united with a Greek, rather than a non-Greek like Ian. The conservative father emphasizes this especially, so Tula wants to marry Ian, so he has to deal with his own strange relatives and then be baptized in the Greek Orthodox church.

From this point of view, it seems that there is no difference between some ordinary movies of laughter, such as daughter, son-in-law and father-in-law, and the next will be various exaggerated and sensational techniques to express the conflicts between each other. Then, the parents finally understand the women and agree to their marriage. But this movie did not choose this, probably because it is the semi-autobiographical story of the heroine Niya Vadalas, so although there is conflict, it is not very intense, although there is sensational, it is not very strong. The movie actually shows a kind of life, showing the normal life of a Greek family or an immigrant family in the United States. If there is any charm that cannot be ignored in this movie, then it is this original and completely the life that happens around us."

After reading it in one go, Sean threw the newspaper on the table and then sighed: "Okay, today is a bit innovative. When it comes to the real reason why this movie is popular, it's just... I still want to know the box office data more."

"My Grand Greek Wedding" was released on Thursday, April 19. The reason I chose this day was to warm up the weekend. It is interesting to say that a movie was put down in a week, and the box office of three days on the weekend is often several times higher than the box office of the previous four days, so the weekend box office data is very important.

From that day on, some of the critics who have been following since the beginning wrote reviews. They all watched them at the Sundance Film Festival, so they mainly praise them. Then someone soon came out to sing the opposite tune, thinking that the movie was too dull, there were not many romantic plots or laughs, and as a romantic comedy, it was unqualified.

But with more reviews joining - after all, this is a low-cost independent film, so people of film critics, especially famous film critics, rarely watch it at the first time. Then, the reputation of decline has risen again. Just like what happened at the Sundance Film Festival, many viewers who have watched it think the movie is interesting, which aroused more people's curiosity, so the above article, which belongs to Melanie Haas.

That's right, it's that Melanie Haas, who compared Sean to the second female film critic of Revan Phoenix when the release of "The Genius Ripley". She is also very concerned about "My Grand Greek Wedding". To a certain extent, if Sean is denied, it is equivalent to denying her. After all, it's only been more than a year since the sensation caused by "The Genius Ripley", so even if you want to deny it, she has to deny it.

However, Niya Vadalas' semi-autobiographical film obviously touched her, otherwise she would not have praised and praised so much. If she was commented by famous film critics like her, the reputation of this film will inevitably be higher.

However, it is basically unlikely to shut up some annoying flies with their reputation, so Sean is still eagerly looking forward to the release of the weekend box office data.

Finally, two or three hours later, Vladimir came to his villa.

"Is it okay to tell me on the phone soon?" Sean was particularly surprised that he came over in person.

"Then what do you think I came here to do?" Vladimir asked back.

Sean couldn't help but suffocate, then his face changed, as if he thought of something bad. He waited until the other party sat down before he swallowed his saliva and asked, "So, what's going on?"

"Well..." The other party hesitated for a while, as if he didn't know what to say, but soon took a deep breath: "Okay, simply put, 700 theaters won a box office of $11 million in three days on the weekend."

The room was quiet for about ten seconds, and then hesitated and took a neatly breath. Both Garen and Sanders showed a look of shock.

"Wait, is 11 million a lot?" Sean, who is usually quick-thinking, became extremely slow at this time. "Compared with 700 theaters, this number is not too much."

"And it topped the North American box office list." Before Garen could give him some popular science, Vladimir immediately said this.

The sound of sucking the air sounded again, and then Sean finally reacted and immediately grew up. The 11 million weekend box office ratio for 700 theaters was indeed not high, and many medium-cost movies could do this.

But don't forget, first of all, it's the off-season for movies, and the box office of 11 million on three days of weekends is almost a very high number, so it directly tops the North American box office rankings; secondly, don't forget that the actual cost of "My Grand Greek Wedding" is only a little more than 3 million. Based on the 90% share of the production and distribution party in the first week, even if the book cost is more than 5 million, there is still money to make.

Sean burst out with a burst of laughter, then took a deep breath, looked at Vladimir, and the strong confidence momentum of the past came back: "This is just the beginning, isn't it?"
Chapter completed!
